I really don't understand the decision to bunt Garcia in the 9th, but it worked out.

I assume Lyons was unavailable in the 11th with 2 lefties. Leone against lefties had me nervous, but that worked out.

We are seeing why an 8 man bullpen has benefits. If Hicks and Norris are unavailable today, we still have plenty of options. The Brewers ran out of options yesterday with their 7 man bullpen since Hader and Albers were unavailable, and Jeffress was on a pitch count.

St. Louis doctors found 17-year- old Camille Fernandez on a November medical mission to the Dominican Republic. The trip was sponsored in part by the Tsunami Waves Foundation, founded by Cardinals pitcher Carlos Martinez.

Fernandez was brought to St. Louis last December for chemotherapy, then a bone marrow transplant. Now she’ll pitch for the Cardinals on the same night Martinez gets the start against the Brewers.
